No knock on Proton, but there have been a lot of “lifetime membership” deals these last few years that wind up forgotten after corporate decides number should go up.
I’ll consider “lifetime payments” when corpos offer a legal contract specifying what their remedy will be when “lifetime” winds up meaning “when corporate loses interest”.

Sadly, a lot of Americans couldn’t name the states correctly either.

General rule amongst those groups: “If you can’t be good, be loud.”

My theory is: free publicity. Just like the fashion industry comes up with ridiculous clothes that no one would ever wear, attention whores will constantly do outrageous things so that people will talk about them. The number of electrons spilled over this stupid mouse port placement over the years is uncountable. But the repeated conversations keep Apple in the public consciousness as a fashionista.

If I didn’t know better, I would say this sounds like Farley giggling and winking in order to make a play for his next CEO gig.

Uber Black is “Luxury rides with professional driver.”

“Professional” insinuates “paid”, so the other Uber drivers aren’t paid?

It’s likely you won’t find a rock this big when digging a basement, but as we can see here, it’s not something you can safely take for granite.

We’re raised by parents that must be obeyed for our own safety. Some people eventually learn to accept their parents are imperfect people and not gods. Many people do not. They look to kings and gods to protect and provide for them.

Those that have power negotiate with kings and gods. People without power attempt to use the only techniques they know to negotiate with their kings and gods: begging and/or pledging loyalty and service in exchange for scraps.

Of course this is but one of many reasons many people worship power.

And anyone that does have net metering will be kicked off if they ever add capacity in order to support that new electric water heater.

I just tell them I don’t have a phone. Even if I’m still holding it in my hand. Most don’t want to engage. They likely figure they’re not payed enough for that.

My bowels have been questioning a lot lately, so it’s not entirely without precedent.

Foreign nationals, let alone foreign governments, are not allowed to give money to political campaigns in the United States. Actually illegal. Bill Clinton got in trouble for it

Don’t forget the Trump Hotel during his presidency that took huge “bookings” from foreign nationals during his presidency. The “Law and Order” party naturally jumped all over this as a violation of the Constitution…, oh wait.

Sam Altman is demonstrating the power of AI. He’s showing how a single CEO can fire the entire company and continue to develop the product to be even better than when humans were involved.

“OpenAI. No real humans involved!” ™

Local natural food store sells Homeopathic medicines. We’re talking water selling at the same price as ink jet printer ink.

Easy.

The dog on the right is wearing pants. Two covered legs = Pa(ir) + nts = ‘Pants’.

The dog on the left is wearing quants. Four covered legs = Qua(d) + nts = ‘Quants”.

Two different clothing items.

The Earth’s orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time

That’s it! Thank you.

So can someone who is more familiar with this subject answer, “Are these pictures taken at the same time of day with or without seasonal adjustments to time (Daylight Savings Time, etc.)?”

I understand why the sun would move vertically over the year due to the tilt of the Earth, but what causes the horizontal movement?

Wait. Is that one turtle per dimension, one turtle per universe, or one turtle that lives inside each black hole that’s really just a wormhole to another dimension/universe?

What Trump needs is a Good Guy With A Gun.

Has he tried hiring a security guard? Did he try Duck & Cover? An armed school teacher maybe?
